Walls

Tomorrow would be my last day at work! I'm going on a maternity leave :)
that means I have approx. 2 month to get things done for a baby and to devote some time to myself, since when the baby is born it would be err.... harder :)
So, basically, two month of minis ( I hope :))Here's what I've managed to make so far. The whole project is changing a bit from the initial drawing, so I'm not sure what I get as a result:) These are the walls for future roombox. It would have two walls. The only thing I need to figure out is how to protect it from dust once it's done. I'll hink about that. The walls are thick cardboard, scrapbooking paper on the inside and gypsum (plaster cast, alabaster - how does it called in english?) on the outside. That's the first time I make something with this material, so there are some wonders for me - it dries really fast! I haven't figured how to make stone-like look yet. However, I thought it would be much worse - it looks more or less allright now, when all the elements are in place. It's still wet, so I'll paint it later. The window has plasic "glass" so it's more or less real :) Here are some more photoes:

I think the outer walls of your roombox can be wonderful and very realistic when finished with paint. Have fun with it and enjoy this short periode ahead in which you will prepare yourself for the baby. I suppose you are looking forward very much to hold the little darling your arms, finally!

Covering this lovely piece will be no problem. There are lots of transparent plastic boxes in which it can be displayed. Or, you can make your own box from peplex.I wish you a easy time in the coming months. Have fun.Hugs, Drora

Oh how exciting you are pregnant. Yes you can enjoy your 2 months and do everything ready, then you will also be able to make some minis when the baby is born.Your Room box looks so exciting, really well made. Enjoy the work.HugsWyrna

Congratulations on the baby! That is a very exciting mini project. The ultimate mini! LOL! :DYou roombox is so sweet. I like the way the exterior looks. Don't make too many minis. Remember to rest too. Those babies tend to not let you sleep much when they come. :)Thank you so much for joining my other site!!hugs♥,Caroline

Have a great maternity leave and congrats to the baby to come! Hope you will be able to work with minis a lot now, you are so talented! Im a stay at home mum, my daughter is 16month now, finally I got some time for minis again ;) Hopefully she will be helping me in the future, but until then I make minis when she sleeps ;) I really like your walls! great work!Hannah

Thanks, Hannah:)I can say that even witha 5 year-old it's conplicated. My daughter is very quickly bored with monotonous job so I think i got the idea:) My plan is to start needlepointing something big for the first month, so that it won't require any long preparation (unlike paint and clay).
